I introduced the deck to my sledge hammer and gave it a little "attitude adjustment" to get the front side back in line. It is now straight and ready to weld the pipe on.





Looking good, Adam. I always seeing pics of your work.

Thanks again guys.

I ordered some spherical gauge wheels earlier and should have them Friday so I can start making mounts for them. Found the wheels on Amazon for $26 for 4 with free shipping. Lowe's wanted $48 and TSC was $64. Only difference is the ones I bought don't have the shoulder bolts but I should have some that will work.

Today, I tack welded the pipe pieces on and started making new gauge wheel mounts. I'm making them longer than the original mounts to keep them from bending the deck or tearing loose like the old ones did. They'll also be welded to the pipe for added strength.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
